It’s all about finding your workflow. If I’m deciding what to use, then those products should be near each other. If I know what I’m likely to do, then those products should be near to where I’ll need them. The rack on the wall near the driver’s side has things I’ll want when I get out of the car. A QD, some spray shine, a cleaner, some options, and a few towels. Get out of the car; make the decision; get to it. Done. The stuff on the back wall is more thoughtful. Abrasives, wheels, samples to try… it’s all on the back wall. Wet stuff near the sink.Is it only me or does anyone else struggle to know what bottles to put next to each other on the shelves! Its like an OCD for a shelf stacker! 😬🤣
(this is now me shunned by the detailing world community! lol)
I must be crazy. 😂

I hear and see folks with a wax fridge…. Are these plugged-in, working fridges? That keep them cold? Or are they unplugged and just thermally stable? Grabbing a dead fridge from the tip is easy. A Wine fridge, which isn’t as cold and has a glass door would be excellent, I think.

When I renewed my kitchen a number of year ago we got a new fridge freezer so my old one was redundant so it moved to the garage. Initially intended as an overflow we never really needed it so I keep my waxes, beer and coke for my rum in it.
I used my old cupboards as well for storage everything was inbuilt though I've since taken the cupboard door off the fridge.
I wouldn't have bought one especially though just for my waxesc😂

I think my main problem is I've run out of shelf space in my out building and had to use another shelf that isn't part of my detailing racking, so I'm struggling with order! Lol I think I need to spend some time re-arragining things
I've heard from a few people that fridges aren't that good for waxes and they're often better being kept at ambient temperature - unless it's very hot and they're starting to soften/melt in which case anything to keep them cool is better than nothing. A wine cooler is the preferred way to go. Hugo at HBS did explain the difference to me and I can't remember exactly what it was off the top of my head, something to do with the different way fridges and coolers work and fridges can cause moisture/condensation to build up in the wax pots - I think. He just told me if it is hot to put any that looked like they were getting a bit sweaty in the fridge and take them out again when it cooled down. I've got too many to fit in a wine cooler now, unless I get something like they have in off-licenses which I don't have room for. Luckily my garage stays pretty cool in summer and doesn't drop below 9-10°c in winter.

Nice starter collection
- but, that applicator puck is making my teeth itch!!!Please tell me that is just the puck and that there is no pad attached to it? If there IS a pad, it will surely be picking up contamination from the shelf - not good for the paintwork!!!
Don't mind me - just my OCD kicking in...........

I’m the same! Also like that with my tyre dressing brushes - one labelled for satin and one for gloss 😂
